Guest guest Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 Namaste Pankaj, There is actually no specific designated direction for Shani Yantra to face. However its important to place it on the altar. Since its the furthest planet (if I remember correctly) from the Sun, its all right for placing on the furthest left part of the altar. If being afflicted by Sadhe Sati or Shani Mahadasha, its suggested to peform daily prayers in front of Shani Yantra and recite the mantra 108 times each day. Light an oil lamp and incense. Offer black sesame seeds, black grams, flowers, fruit, sweets, milk and curd. On Saturdays, donate black clothing, iron nails, steel items, cooking oven, cooking utensils, and fried and oily food to beggars. Its also fine to donate black mustard seeds and black sesame seeds to poor families. Another type of donation is a black cow or buffalo to a poor man on Saturday evening. On Saturdays, visit Hanuman Temple, do prayers and make offerings. Out of the pantheon of more than 330 million gods, Sri Hanuman is the only deity who can control Shani. Its Shani's nature 'to sit' on everyone, gods, planetary deities and rishis. In order to sit on Sri Hanuman, Shani had to ask his permission to sit on Him. Shani then was able to sit on Hanuman, then Hanuman used his tail to flick Shani's face to the floor. Hence Hanuman is able to control Shani and not let Shani sit on Him without His permission. Persons going through minor and major Shani malefic periods will also benefit if they pray regularly to Sri Hanuman. The same goes for those undergoing Kaal Sarp Yoga. An interesting article about Shani will be posted in the next message. Please print it out for your own reference now or for the future. It makes us all understand more about Shani.
